Do-it-yourself lamp connecting structure
Abstract
The present invention relates to a DIY lamp connecting structure applicable for all kinds of lamp, comprising a hanging frame on a switch box, and a connector at the top of the lamp; wherein said hanging frame has a pivotal base extended from the central hole on the side of the hanging frame, and the bottom of the pivotal base has a ratchet blocking wheel; a latch member is disposed at the top by a spring and the aslant plane of the lower half section of the latch member is aligned with the plane of the ratchet blocking wheel, and the plane of the utmost bottom presses against the serrations of the blocking wheel, such that the blocking wheel can only rotate in the same direction, and unable to rotate in the reverse direction. A ratchet serrated edge disposed along the side of the connector is engaged, so that the connector can be latched into the blocking wheel of the hanging frame step by step, and assure the secure coupling within the hanging frame. Such structure not only reduces the volume of the lamp for transportation and storage, but also provides a very convenient way for the users to assemble the lamp on their own by inserting the connector into the hanging frame.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1. A do-it-yourself (DIY) lamp connecting structure, comprising a hanging frame inside a switch box and a conductive connector fixed on the lamp; wherein said switch box at its center having a fixing hole for mounting the hanging frame, and a through hole disposed on a lateral side of the switch box, and a conductive base disposed on the inner side of the through hole for letting a control rod pass through;
said hanging frame having a socket extended upward from the side of the hanging frame, and a pivotal base extended from the side edge of the central hole of the hanging frame;
a ratchet blocking wheel, pivotally coupled to pivotal base proximate to the bottom of the pivotal base, and a latch member pivotally coupled to the top end of the pivotal base by a spring, and the lower half section of an aslant plane of the latch member aligning with the plane of the ratchet blocking wheel, such that the blocking wheel rotating in the same direction, and the plane of the utmost bottom of the latch member pressing against the serrations of the blocking wheel so that the blocking wheel not able to rotate in the reverse direction;
said conductive connector having a connector section aligning with the central hole of the hanging frame and protruded upward from the interior of the hanging frame, and a ratchet serrated edge engaged with the blocking wheel, disposed at an end of the blocking wheel of the hanging frame aligned with the conductive connector; such arrangement accomplishes the effect of reducing the volume of the lamp for transportation and storage, and facilitating users to assemble the lamp on their own.
2. A do-it-yourself (DIY) lamp connecting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said control rod passing through the switch box being passed through the through hole and the conductive base from the outer edge of the switch box, and the front end of the control rod being exactly aligned with the upper half section of the latch member of the hanging frame, so that when the control rod being pushed forward, the control lord pressing against the pivotally coupling position as a pivot for the rotation and pushing the lower half section of the latch member outward to separate the ratchet serration aligned with the blocking wheel and letting the blocking wheel to rotate in the same/reverse direction.
3. A do-it-yourself (DIY) lamp connecting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said hanging frame having a thread section protruded from the bottom of the hanging frame for letting a screw nut be coupled to the lower section of the switch box and mounting the hanging frame into the switch box.
4. A do-it-yourself (DIY) lamp connecting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said hanging frame being disposed on a lateral side of the switch box, and the blocking wheel and latch member being pivotally coupled to the upper edge of the hanging frame, such that the ceiling lamp rod with a connector at the head section of the ceiling lamp rod being latched inside the hanging frame, and mounting the ceiling lamp rod to a side of the switch box.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
